Is there a maximum age for any olympic events?

I know that people are often asking about minimum ages, but is there a certain age in any events where you are required to stop competing?

nope. there are some minimum age limits for lots of events, but none for maximum. some of the more technical and less physical events are often won by athletes in there 40's and 50's. i believe the oldest winner of an event was over 70.

one word, "Believe". How ever old you may be, there some olympic event covering it !
Like Seniors Wheelchair Olympics . . . serious !

i don't think so; there was a member of the us team in the summer olympics who was in her 50's for the 2008 summer olympics

i dont think but it would be cool so see a swimming 80 year old granny win!

i dont think so. but people usaully retire around 30- 40.

How come some Olympic events are listed as "women's" and others are listed as "ladies'"?

You can see what I'm talking about here: http://www.vancouver2010.com/olympic-sch…

Strangely, I don't see any "gentlemens'" events.

Going through those I noticed that somethings just roll of the tongue easier.
Ladies Speed Skating vs. Women's Speed Skating. Although Ladies Luge rolls off the tongue easier than Women's Luge! It's an interesting question though. I had never noticed the difference!
Maybe it just stems from what the sport has always been designated as in it's own circle.

I could go for some more "gentlemanly" events

there is large and then there is immense. there is attempted international communication and then there is creating a surefire communiqué. so it is with respect to the United Kingdom, China and the Beijing Olympics. as Mark Sweney of the guardian.co.uk reports, the United Kingdom’s CCTV has taken some amazing steps towards creating a bond with the Chinese people; the number of Chinese watching the games will be incredible and, the coverage will be nearly 24/7.

In his article, “Beijing Olympics: UK firm behind TV titles for China state broadcaster,” Sweney reports that to begin with, when the Chinese audience tunes in for the televised Olympic Games, they will see an introduction that presents the ancient five elements theory of earth, water, wood, fire and metal interspersed with Olympic events. This was designed by Red Bee Media and is expected to go a long way towards communicating to an audience that does not routinely have television as a large part of their life.

CCTV is thought to be the largest broadcaster in the world. In this Olympic scenario they should be reaching up to 1.5 billion Chinese. Additionally, not only are they going to reach a large number of people but they will reach them for inordinate amounts of time; they expect to be showing 18 hours of daily coverage.

As a writer, I like to think I have a modicum of creativity and imagination; however, Red Bee Media is in a league of its own.

In a related article by Mark Sweney in guardian.co.uk titled “Jamie Hewlett and Damon Albarn behind BBC’s ‘Monkey’ Olympics ad”, he discusses how the creators of the popular 1970′s children program Monkey, used three characters from the series, Monkey, Pigsy and Sandy as adventurers trying to get to the Beijing Olympic Stadium as essentially an “application” to create the special Olympic introduction for the Beijing Olympic Games.

1.5 billion Chinese, 18 hours of Olympic coverage and ground-breaking cross-cultural communication are making these games special, political intrigue not withstanding. Incidentally, you can view both the introduction and the “application” video in links provided at the end of this article.

I recall back in 1960 when the Olympic Games were in Rome, Italy how there was some difficulty in translation between broadcasts. however, what makes the 1960 experience almost laughable is that television didn’t have today’s technology so film was sent to the States delayed. Of course we also didn’t have 24-hour cable. we only had the three regular channels ABC, NBC and CBS. so, coverage ended up being about two hours per night of, essentially, clips.

Welcome to the Olympics 2008: it is incredible the opportunity the World has.

What are some olympic events that have distance as their results?

Distance like 800m or 600m as the results of the event. the event has to include men and women.

If you mean that the results are the distance covered, then long jump, triple jump, discus, shot, hammer, and javelin are the events where the distance is the results.

What is a good website that has updates for equestrian Olympic events?

I won't have access to the internet, tv or news papers for the next few weeks (going to horse camp in the middle of nowhere), and when I get back I would like to read all the updates on horse events at the Olympic games. anyone know a good site/blog?

I agree nbcolympics.com is great!

I've actually been watching the dressage live.

there is not much TV coverage of the horse sports (I think MSNBC is showing the Individual Dressage on Sat 8/16. Your best bet is to check out nbcolympics.com, they have great live footage of most of the events that you can watch while they're going on or at your convenience!

yo im prity sure is itsss nbc.com!
